I really would appreciate if you yourself read about them in Srimad Bhagvatam 1st Canto and 5th Canto. You may see that in http://www.bbt.info/browse/e-library . And by the way, Prabhuji, I don't think you really don't know about Krishna and His expansions because you know all about his forms not mentioned above!
I am glad to hear such a beautiful Question. Well, if you read the Srimad Bhagvatam, you'll have all the answers in the First Canto itself. You'll find that at http://www.bbt.info/browse/e-library .
But for the sake, I must clear it out to you. As you know, " Krishna bhagvan swayam " (Bhag) and " Isvaro Param Krishna " (Brahma Samhita 5.1). That feature of Lord is said by impersonalists as Caitanya or Brahma. So it's clear, Krishna is supreme creator.
Now,
Vishnu is Krishna-tattava (Direct expansion of Krishna) and Shiva is Shiva-tattva( Partial expansion of Krishna) and Brahma is Jiva-tattva ( Marginal Expansion of Krishna) as it is confirmed in Bhag. 1.2. 23.
SO,
Krishna is supreme personality, and all Rama, Buddha and Parsurama are Krishna-tattva. They are expansion of Him, but are not as complete as He is.
Now,
First of all there was Purusa, Krishna. He created Maha-Vishnu. Then came Garbodakshayi Vishnu. Maha-Vishnu created thousand of Universes and Garbodakshayi Vishnu enters every planet. And then Brahma comes, and all expansions happen.
But,
If you question is "How expansion takes place", then it is Krishna's internal potency called mayaa through which he does it. Only a great devotee of Lord can know it. One who have seen Krishna and realized him through Yoga (For he is Yogeswara) can teach you the science of Expansion. But ultimatley, it's His power. As he created the World, so can he expand Himself. There is nothing so surprising about that.
